Aspect Model Battery Passport

urn:samm:io.catenax.battery.battery_pass:4.0.0#BatteryPass
The battery pass describes information collected during the lifecycle of a battery. The battery passport is heavily based on the Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 July 2023 concerning batteries and waste batteries, amending Directive 2008/98/EC and Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 and repealing Directive 2006/66/EC. Additionally attributes come from the Proposal for Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation.
